Openai has revealed that it has taken a number of malicious campaigns using its AI offers, including Chatgpt.
In a report entitled “Disruption of Malicious Uses of AI: June 2025” Openai determines how it dismantled or disturbed 10 employment wind, influence on operations and spam campaigns using chat in the first few months of 2025 alone.
Many of the campaigns were conducted by state -sponsored actors with links to China, Russia and Iran.

Four of the campaigns are disturbed by Openai appear to have origin in China with their focus on social technique, hidden influence operations and cyber threats.
A campaign called “Sneer Review” by Openai, so the Taiwanese “turned front” board games that include opposition to the Chinese Communist Party spamed by very critical Chinese comments.
The network behind the campaign then generated an article and published it on a forum that claimed the game had received widespread setback based on the critical comments in an attempt to discredit both the game and the Taiwanese independence.
Another campaign called “Helgoland Bite,” so Russian actors use chatgpt to generate text in German that criticized the US and NATO and generates content about the German election in 2025.
Most notably, the group also used chatgpt to seek out opposition activists and bloggers as well as generating messages referring to coordinated positions and payments on social media.
Openai has also banned several chatgpt accounts linked to US targeted influence accounts in an operation known as “Uncle Spam”.
In many cases, Chinese actors would generate highly divisive content aimed at expanding the political gap in the United States, including creating social media accounts that issued arguments for and against customs, as well as generating accounts that mimick the US veteran support pages.
Openai’s report is an important reminder that not everything you see online is sent by an actual human being and that the person you have chosen an online match could get exactly what they want; Engagement, outrage and division.
